Thevenin's Theorem

We experimented with Thevenin's Theorem. We found the Thevenin equivalent circuit of our given circuit diagram. 


Here is the construction of the above circuit. Thevenin's theorem allows us to recalculate certain elements of the circuit without having to resolve the entire circuit equations.



As we found the theoretical Thevanin equivalents, we know need to find it experimentally. Our experimental data was only 1 micro-Amp from the theoretical value.



Here we find the equivalent resistance. Again our theoretical and experimental values were very close in values.



 Now we used potentiometers for the resistors so we can change the values and see if the Thevanin theorem holds true.



 Our collected data using different resistances with the potentiometers.



 This is the graph of Power vs. Load Resistance of our experiment.
